For the spy who loves you.

That is quite an elegant, expensive watch. :p

If I ever had several thousand to spend on a watch...I'd definitely consider an Omega. Sam's Club had an Omega Speedmaster on display the other week...it was hot.

Personally, I prefer Omega's styling to Rolex's.

Well...my watch came....

I'm stuck with phone pictures for now, so pardon the crapiness :p



very yellow



still love the yellow



There's the bezel (the coin-edged thing that you see people turning on their watch, it goes 'click click click'). You can also see the crown/stem, the thing you pull out to set the time/date.



Seiko watches are notorious for their "lume." It's a paint on all the markers and it just glows awesome in the dark.

Looks nice. Congrats on the new purchase.

I've been reading this ever since you first made the thread, but just now realized that it was a Seiko. I have a Seiko myself, one with a black and gray checkered faceplate, and I just love it.

Just from Internet testimony, Seiko seems to be one of the better producers of low-end/mid-range watches, along with Citizen, Orient and Pulsar (imo). I've seen the checkered look on some of the Seikos, and it is pretty hot. Is your watch a chronograph?

Yes, it is. One with two red circles on the top and bottom.

It's a lot like the first one, but a little less bulkier. The white circles are red, and the hands are white. And it doesn't have those little numbers around the perimeter (whatever it's called :))

I would've taken a picture if it was possible, instead of talking about it blindly :)

Ok, here's my watch:
It's the closest I can find to my watch.

Mine doesn't have the numbers 1-12 and the symbols are gold-colored. Like this:


I really love it, I've had it for more than 5 years.
